He has made a very valid point.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3079788\" data-originallang=\"en\"> That is what we are saying about Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5709667\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-44/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code and the Employment Insurance Act and to make consequential amendments to the Income Tax Act and the Income Tax Regulations\">C-44</a>. While we think it is a step in the right direction, it really does need to be improved upon, and we have recommended amendments and improvements to the bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3079789\" data-originallang=\"en\">We hope the government will recognize that we could be in this together. We could ensure that Canadians have the best possible EI system they could have. They are paying into it. It is their system. Let us work together. Let us not treat it as something that only the Conservatives, or the NDP or the Liberals are doing it. Let us work together and do what is in the best interest of Canadians from coast to coast to coast. </p>",

Il a soulev\u00e9 un point tr\u00e8s pertinent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3079788\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est ce que nous disons au sujet du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5709667\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-44/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code and the Employment Insurance Act and to make consequential amendments to the Income Tax Act and the Income Tax Regulations\">C-44</a>. Bien que nous croyions que c'est un pas dans la bonne direction, il a vraiment besoin d'\u00eatre am\u00e9lior\u00e9, et nous avons recommand\u00e9 des amendements et des am\u00e9liorations au projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3079789\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous esp\u00e9rons que le gouvernement reconna\u00eetra que nous pourrions unir nos efforts. Nous pourrions veiller \u00e0 ce que les Canadiens aient le meilleur r\u00e9gime d'assurance-emploi possible. Ils y cotisent. Ce r\u00e9gime leur appartient. Travaillons ensemble. Ne faisons pas comme s'il \u00e9tait uniquement le fait des conservateurs, des n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates ou des lib\u00e9raux. Unissons nos efforts et faisons ce qui est dans l'int\u00e9r\u00eat des Canadiens d'un oc\u00e9an \u00e0 l'autre.</p>"
